I heard news report today saying these coins were not from the 1900s robbery. They traced them back to Georgia mint. Who knows.

You are trying to replicate this look with a printer? When you see this on race cars its cut vinyl.

Maybe number bottles. What if caps get mixed up?

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I actually recognized a couple cars there that I have seen in television car archive films. Pretty cool! Your son looks like a pro showing and telling about the car.

on the color selection toolbar, there is a button with several colored squares. click on that and it will bring up a menu list.. select from list by double clicking it.

Just by using Flexi and comparing on screen colors to RGB and 651 colors, looks like red and yellow. Yellow is real close. Red is tad off, your RGB has hint of blue to it. But fairly close. Maybe someone else has input as well.

3M Adhesive Remover. Test surface before you get ambitious with it.

Google search images for "helping hands". There are tons of different logos. Have a look, get some ideas. Should get your juices flowing.

There ya go. All ya need!

You are welcome. You can find these at times cheap and sometimes large ones. They work great.

This guy, IMO, has a great vinyl applying technique. Check out his vids. Should help you some. http://www.youtube.com/user/darkestofdans/videos

I think I would die in that weather!

Bottom line, what the customer wants. My suggestions were to make the sign/decal more effective. To me, if you changed Farrier Service to Iron Works it would a be a blacksmith logo. Also, name and phone numbers are the most important part of any signage and should be large and not obstructed by other info.

Nice look, design and layout. I would do another one just to see. Correct aligning, ditch flame, make horeshoe bigger, reduce anvil, make phone numbers bigger and perhaps change the font used for est, town names, and services at bottom. Being a blacksmith is less important than the main fact this is a Farrier.

jmac, the online store you are referring to is a Yahoo Store platform. If that helps any.

Are there any tips or tricks to getting a (any) cutter fine tuned to cut this small?

You have several options. But if you want the yellow stripe to be 15" high you should get non-perforated roll. Or make stripe not as high and cut it out with your cutter. But your cutter has to be tracking perfect are you may have some variances in your height. Could always paint the stripe. If your cutter isn't or doesn't track well you could always cutter short pieces and piece the stripe together as you apply it by a slight over lap.

Yes, Merry Christmas to all.

Open it in inkscape and save as .eps. Nothing more to it than just that.

Easier to work with or better quality shirts or both?

That's awesome!

Very nice! I like it!

Has anyone had any dealings with Graphical Systems USA?
